Storage Containers (Duct Tape Crafts)

A Couple of weeks ago I shared a post for an UPCYCLED TALL MIRRORwith you, which I made for the changes in Cheri’s room. I also mentioned that we wanted to finish the room during the first week or two of July – well, not happening. But I am busy with the smaller things needed in her room/s and made these Storage Containers using Duct Tape.

Our country has gone through a rough workers strike in the mining industry, and now it is the metal workers’ striking, which of course means, no work for Roy, therefore no money to throw around on expensive makeovers as this strike can continue indefinitely. We prefer food for the moment ..

Anyhow, I am using what I have available {and would have made these anyway – only I wanted to do this later, after the major stuff was done}

There is a small area with shelves which will be used for storage and/or decor items and the above containers will all be in one grouping on one shelf.

After covering the cans and the lids, there was a small gap between the two, as seen above – I did not like the look of that and to take the Duct Tape right to the edges would not have worked, as the lids would have been too tight.

I added some jute to the can and the edge around the lid, which looks great, and as a bonus, the lids are now much easier to open because of a better grip.

To break all the round cans, I made one Storage Container using an empty Flora plastic tub – simply covered the tub with the Duct Tape.

Finished and ready for whenever we actually do get to finish {or at least finish the shelving unit} the rooms.

This is such a great idea and who doesn't love duct tape! I love the colors and patterns you used. Sharing on our facebook page tonight. Thanks for sharing with Creative Spark Link Party. I hope things get better for your family soon.Glenna @ My Paper Craze

I love this! You are so creative and I love to come and see what you have made. I especially like the fact that it is so simple and recycles things that are just hanging around waiting to be used. Thanks for sharing. Pinning!

We recycle and I have a bin ready to be put out to the road this week. Now, I am going to go through it because you have given me some great idea. I have stayed away from the whole duct tape thing because it can get quite expensive with brand name tape. I just saw some really cute tape at the dollar store and think kiddo and I can make some really great items for my office and her desk space. I am working on the craft side of my office now that my husband has moved into his man cave out in the barn. Thank you for the ideas!
